  1. It's been announced that Sunset Speedway will allow fully fabricated Metric chassis next year (2016) making the Ontario cars ever increasingly similar to the Autodrome St-Eustache Sportsman. I'm continuing to race in the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup series with my former NASCAR Canadian Tire Series 2015 Chevrolet Impala. This chassis was formerly driven by Donnie Thompson and won the first NCATS race (2007 at Cayuga Speedway). Check out our new website www.jsracecars.com or www.facebook.com/JohnathanSchwemlerRacecars for more information.
  2. We're currently building a car to compete in the Optima Batteries ChumpCar World Series events at Autodrome St-Eustache and Circuit ICAR. The car will be part of a rehabilitation program for injured soldiers as part of the Soldier On / Sans Limites charity program. We've been donated hand controls and may have double amputees driving the car. To help us with our goals, please vote for our Championship Spark Plugs video http://alwaysachampion.com/search-for-a-champion/entry/1568198.
  3. These cars should come visit Peterborough Speedway in the fall as part of Autumn Colours and participate as Limited Late Models. I think the rules are very similar.
  4. Good point. Sometimes it's not even having an exciting show but the illusion that you have an exciting show. I watched a NASCAR Winston Cup Series race from the 90's the other day, the finish was no different than the finishes we see today, but the announcers made it sound so exciting that there was the illusion that the race was far better than it actually was. By the way Andre, the karting event you're putting on this winter seems exciting, I almost want to drive from Toronto to participate. The announcements of ASE joining NASCAR again is also exciting, and I wish some of that news was released in English so we could share it with other Ontario racers and spur some interest here, maybe even set an example.
  5. We've mocked up the first 2014 Impala SS body for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series on our Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup car. This body is available from Tony Novotny at Performance Fiberglass in London, Ont. You can see more on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/JohnathanSchwemlerRacecars
  6. Google translate isn't very good, but I think I understood some of what you are saying Andre. I believe you are correct, most of the weekly series do not bring the same crowds as specials like NCATS, but Kawartha has good reasons for attempting to re-open. The reasons they closed were a) Kawatha Speedway promoter, Derek Lynch, left to work with ACT, b) Kawartha's main revenue is from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Association's slot machines, something that the Ontario Government had said they were going to remove from the horse race tracks, c) attendance had been dwindling due to the oversaturation of race tracks in the area (3 within 45 minutes). Andrew McFadden has stepped up to act as the new promoter, the Ontario government has chosen to NOT move the slots our of the horse racetracks, with MOSPORT oval closing, Kawartha's main competition for crowds and cars has been eliminated.
  7. Still looking... leaving for Ottawa the 28th of November.
  8. I've had two phone calls from Montreal area racers w/ former CASCAR chassis for sale, but neither has sent photos yet. Open up some space in your garage / barn by sending a picture of your chassis to johnathan.schwemler@gmail.com... make sure the spelling is correct, these guys are motivated to buy for a limited time.
  9. "The Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup series crowns Shawn McGlynn as their 2013 Champion. This makes Shawn the series only three time Champion ('08, '12 & '13). The Roger McGlynn led team has been with the series since the beginning and has had at least one car entered in every race since 2007. Josh Wood finished a strong second followed by Jake Ott, Dan Prudhomme and Doug Cathcart. In the Rookie of the year battle it was Johnathan Schwemler followed by Kevin Allen who was just four points back. The scheduled eight race season ended on October 19th with a double rainout at the Oktoberfest Classic at Flamboro Speedway."

  12. http://www.lucasoilsportsmancup.com/news/2013/063013.htm Prudhomme Returns to Victory Lane after Two Years (Varney, ON) – The Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series arrived at Varney Speedway Motorplex on Sunday, June 30th for round four of the eight-race championship, as the headline show of the Canada Day weekend festival of speed at Canada’s fastest ¼-mile speedway. Time trials were the first order of the day and defending series champion, and current point leader Shawn McGlynn (#81) of Kitchener, turned the track with a lap of 13.50 seconds to take the fast qualifying award, as well as setting a new track record. Rookie Johnathan Schwemler (#45) of Montreal, posted his second consecutive top-five qualifying effort with a lap of 13.59 seconds, while another freshman, 16-year old Matthew Scannell (#56) of Milton, was third, with Tim ‘The Intimidator’ Tolten (#3) of Guelph, and Dan Prudhomme (#96) of Thamesford, rounding out the top-five. The entire field was separated by a mere 9/10ths of a second. The Lucas Oil ‘Fast Five’ draw was next as the drivers pulled for their starting positions. Scannell was the luckiest of the bunch, drawing the pole, with Prudhomme starting alongside him, while Schwemler and Tolten occupied row two. McGlynn and Josh Wood (#66) of London rolled off from the third row. Prudhomme took the early lead as the field went green until a lap 15 yellow when Schwemler’s car died on the backstretch. Tolten restarted alongside Prudhomme and led one lap, but Prudhomme was able to recapture control on lap 17. Tolten hounded Prudhomme, and was finally able to get past on lap 27, but it was Jake ‘The Juicebox’ Ott (#60) of Ayr, who was on the charge. After starting eighth, Ott picked his way through the field and passed Prudhomme for second on lap 35 before taking off after Tolten. The field would be slowed by the second yellow of the night on lap 52, and shortly after the restart, Ott was able to get past Tolten to take the point. During the next 26 laps, Ott stretched his lead out to almost a half a track over Prudhomme, while Tolten experienced issues and faded. The race was slowed by a lap 81 yellow, setting up a 19-lap dash to the finish. Prudhomme took the lead from Ott on the outside during the restart, while Ott went on the attack, with McGlynn grabbing third, Wood running fourth, and Schwemler rallying to fifth position. They were still running in those spots when the leaders came upon lapped traffic into turn one after taking the white flag. Prudhomme went to the outside of the lappers out of turn two, while Ott piled his car to the inside, splitting the lapped car on the backstretch heading into turn three. Contact ensued with Ott and the lapped car, and Ott ended up wrecked in the infield. Wood was partially collected in the melee, while McGlynn and Schwemler avoided contact to finish second and third in a thrilling conclusion. Wood finished fourth while Doug Cathcart (#48) of Ottawa rounded out the top-five. For Prudhomme, it was his first trip to victory lane since Flamboro late in 2011, and he said, “We’ve won at least one race every year for 20 years, and last season was the first time we were ever shutout, and sometimes you wonder if you’re ever going to get a win again. We’ve had a lot of seconds since we were in victory lane last time. There were a bunch of fast cars – Tolten might have had the car to beat, and Ott was fast. He and I had a great race for the last 20 laps. It was a good points night for us, and we just need to get a little better at qualifying, but we’ve been improving.” McGlynn came home second, despite a car that was damaged earlier in the night when he suffered some hard contact racing for position. He said, “We broke the sway bar off and the thing was a handful the last part of the race. I saw everything breaking out in front of me and just tried to get through it without hitting anything. We had another strong night, being the fastest qualifier, and extended our points lead.” Schwemler was making just his 11th start in a stock car and was thrilled with his third-place finish, and spoke about his night, “The car unloaded fast, but I didn’t like it, so we made a lot of adjustments. I made a mistake early in the race and shut the car down when I hit the wrong switch, but after that I was able to pick them off one at a time. We were faster than a bunch of the cars, and I had to use a little bumper to get past one of them. I saw with two laps to go that lapped traffic was going to be an issue, and with three to go, I thought that I was going to be able to get the #66 [Josh Wood]. I saw the white and saw the 60 go to the inside down the backstretch and when everything broke loose I stayed high, and the #66 took the wrong line through the wreck and I was able to get him on the outside. I would’ve been happy with a top-five with three laps to go, and I’m thrilled that we were able to capture the first trophy for the Canadian Heros Racing program.” Race #4 Results – Varney Speedway – 1. Prudhomme, 2. S. McGlynn, 3. Schwemler, 4. Wood, 5. Cathcart. Standings after 4 of 8 events – 1. McGlynn (415 points), 2. Wood (393), 3. Prudhomme (391), 4. Ott (382), 5. Cathcart (366). Following a weekend off, the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup teams will be back in action on July 13th at Canadian Tire Speedway. It will be the final major event at the historic half-mile and throughout the years has produced some incredible finishes for the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series. The track is scheduled to be closed at the end of July, and all the drivers will be looking to become a part of history during the event. Last season it was Shawn McGlynn that captured the win, but less than a car length over Amanda Connolly (#16) of Aurora.

  15. Je besion a reprogram my motorola radios before May 15th. Is there anyone on the south shore that does it? Merci beaucoup pour l'aide.
  16. I use one similar to this and it works well with a 1/2" corded drill... mine's a Mastercraft. It's been recommended to me not to use this style in a drill press because the shaft tends to get bent in such applications.
  17. I think I still have one Pat. Text me after 4:30 any weeknight and I will double check (438-402-4022)
  18. JF is correct. Dexter needs to prove himself on a Super Speedway before NASCAR will allow him to run any NASCAR sanctioned events at Daytona. It's kind of messed up, but makes sense in NASCAR's own way.
  19. Inside Track magazine presented the 7th Annual Canadian Motorsports Expo this past weekend. Kyle Bush, Micheal Waltrip and the "Trailer Park Boys" were all in attendance as well as many NASCAR Cdn Tire Series stars. Johnathan Schwemler trailered his new ride from the Johnathan Schwemler Racecars (JSR) shop in Napierville, Quebec to Toronto Thursday night in preparation for the three day show. JSR will be preparing an ex-NCATS '09 McColl chassis in the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup (LOSC) for Canadian Heroes. Canadian Heroes is a non-profit organization that was formed as a tribute to the fallen soldiers that paid the ultimate sacriface in the Afghan war. The Canadian Heroes LOSC program invites the family to a memorial race held in their fallen soldier's memory and treats them to a full VIP hospitality experience. The hood at each race is wrapped to commemorate the event and is donated to the family following the race.
  20. I'd rather see the 3 retired, but since it was Childress' number long before Earnhardt's, I understand the sentimental aspect for his family.
